This syntax is used for knuckled (main) panels and has the following layout.

Syntax:

PANEL (,<pan_name>

      [,BLOCK=<bl_name>])

      ,<data_type>

      [,<store_code>]

      SUB=(<subpanel> (1...25)|’<group_name>*’)

      ;

Most of the clauses are common to the usual panel syntax. The keyword SUB can be followed by all the subpanel names, explicitly given in an arbitrary order. It may also be followed by a group name concluded by an asterisk. In the former case the number of sub-panels is restricted to 25.

In the latter case all subpanels whose names start in <group_name> will be included. The number of sub-panels can in this case in principle be unrestricted.

Example:

The following input schemes generate two subpanels which then are combined into one knuckled panel.

Sub-panel l

PAN,'TB123-SUB1',SUB,Z=15000;

BOU,X=50000/Y=0/X=55000/Y=4000,CON;

SEA,Y=2600;

PLA,MAT=10,Y=2000,3500,X=52000;

------------------------------------------------------------

Sub-panel 2

PAN,'TB123-SUB2', SUB,
    ORI=50000, 4000,15000,
    UAX=60000, 4000,15000,
    VAX=50000, 8000,14500;

BOU,X=50000/Y=4000,CON/X=55000/Y=7500;

SEA,Y=5000;

PLA,MAT=10,Y=4500,6000,X=52000

------------------------------------------------------------

Main panel

PAN,’TB123-1’,SBP,DT=343,

SUB=’TB123-SUB1’:’TB123-SUB2’;

(or PAN,’TB123-1’, SBP, DT=343, SUB=’TB123-*’;)
